Supplement label checks for Dounby, Orkney Islands
Send us your label and we’ll tell you, in writing, what must change before it goes on sale from Dounby.
What the check covers for Dounby brands
We read your label line by line: the supplement statements, the nutrient table and %NRV maths, ingredients and allergens, claims, text size and traceability. You get a written report you can act on or pass to your designer. We check labels designed and printed anywhere, including ones from other printers. It’s a practical review, not legal advice. If you need advice councils must respect, a Primary Authority partnership is the next step.

Dounby questions
Do you check labels for Northern Ireland as well as Great Britain?
We can check for both. EU food law applies in Northern Ireland, so health claims must be on the EU register and the address must work for that market. Let us know where your products go and we’ll cover both.
Which labelling rules apply to supplements sold from Dounby?
Dounby is in Scotland, so the Food Supplements (Scotland) Regulations 2003 apply, alongside the general food information rules. Health claims have to come from the GB nutrition and health claims register.
Who enforces food labelling in the Orkney Islands?
Food labelling is enforced by the local council’s trading standards or environmental health team for the Orkney Islands, with national oversight from Food Standards Scotland. If you want assured advice, consider a Primary Authority partnership with a council.
Do you send samples?
Yes. Ask for a sample pack and we’ll send it to you in Dounby, so you can feel the materials and finishes.
Do I need to be based in Dounby to order?
No. We take orders online from anywhere in the UK, so your location doesn’t matter. Dounby deliveries go out by tracked courier to KW17.
